Chapter 104 Yiran Hall Agency Rules
Now Hai Rui once again recalled his "Pingli Ce" and the conversation of the noble young master in the Gaogong courtyard that day, Hai Rui also gradually understood, If he wants to change the current situation of Ming Dynasty, in addition to insisting on the justice in his heart, he must also find ways to open up the source of income. Only by solving the local poverty problem is the real solution.
After all, no one wants to remain poor.
Even among scholars who often talk about living in poverty and being indifferent to fame and wealth, few are really willing to be poor.
Who doesn’t want to live a good life?
And to be honest, Hai Rui doesn't really like to live a hard life. It's just because his personal morals are too high and he can't tolerate being polluted by the world, bullying the weak, and obtaining illegal gains, so he has always been poor. of.
Hai Rui drank another glass of wine silently and said, "I really don't know when can we change the status quo?"
Gao Gong chuckled, picked up the glass and took a sip, and then After picking up some chopsticks, he said: "It all depends on people. As long as you and I can hold on to the hope and morality in our hearts, and with the foresight of the young master, are we afraid that we can't change this chaotic world?"
What Gao Gong said This is very rebellious, and they are all looking forward to Zhu Zaijing coming to power to take action.
Hai Rui was so frightened when he heard Gao Gong's words that his palms shook and he almost spilled the wine in his glass.
But Hai Rui soon regained his composure. He didn't know whether Gao Gong was right or not, but he still knew the persistence and morality in his heart.
Hai Rui said: "Listening to the bachelor's words this time is better than studying hard for ten years. I respect the bachelor."
Hai Rui raised his wine glass and saluted Gao Gong. one time.
Gao Gong also picked up the cup and walked with Hai Rui again.
After drinking, Gao Gong taught again: "You are now a second-class Jinshi and oversee the government in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Studying is no longer the first priority for you. The first priority now is The task is to become familiar with the study and handling of government affairs as soon as possible. In the future, whether you leave the capital to serve as an official, or stay in the capital to enter the Sixth Ministry, the Metropolitan Inspectorate, or the Dali Temple, you must know the ways of the officialdom and the skills of doing things. . Otherwise you will be controlled by others and will not be able to expand your ambitions.”
After hearing Gao Gong's teachings, Hai Rui was still moved. He knew very well that Gao Gong could say such profound words to him because he regarded him as one of his own. Otherwise, Gao Gongli would not pay attention to him.
After all, Gao Gong is a Hanlin bachelor with a bright future. He will have a great chance to become the prime minister in the future and assist the king to straighten out the world.
Although Hai Rui was lucky enough to become a second-class Jinshi, he missed the Hanlin Academy and lost the opportunity to join the cabinet.
Future achievements are likely to be limited to local feudal borders. As for the six official officials, they will have to be extremely lucky to achieve it.
So now that he can get Gao Gong's teachings, it can also be said that this is another great fortune for him to have smoke coming out of his ancestral grave!
However, even without Gao Gong's guidance, with Hai Rui's wisdom, he was still able to play within the limited rules to a height that ordinary people could not reach.
You must know that in the original history, Hai Rui, who was just a man of great success, had already achieved great success. He not only won the appreciation of Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province, but also had an exciting game with Emperor Jiajing. Even though he was facing a sniper attack at the middle gate, he was still able to escape miraculously. In the end, he was able to patrol Yingtian, scaring the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River to the point of peeing.
Based on this ability, anyone who says that Hai Rui only knows how to blather and cannot serve as an official is getting kicked in the head by a donkey.
As for survival in the officialdom, even if Gao Gong didn't come to teach him this lesson, Hai Rui could still make good use of the limited rules.
So the capital may be lively in the future.
Of course, the personal interaction between Gao Gong and Hai Rui was not directed by Zhu Zaijing.
Now Zhu Zaijing knows the importance of avoiding suspicion better than anyone else.
He is very aware of how sensitive his identity is, so unless it is unavoidable, Zhu Zaijing will never foolishly read with his attendant outside the high palace of Prince Yu's Mansion. Even if this person was a famous official in history, Zhu Zaijing would not pay any attention to him.
So for Hai Rui, Zhu Zaijing helping him was actually just an accident.
As for what kind of person Hai Rui will be in the capital in the future, it will all depend on his own ability. Zhu Zaijing will not give him a second glance anyway. The general examination, palace examination and Hanlin exams are all over.
And Zhu Zaijing also received Huang Jin's strong guarantee. Zhu Zaijing could finally let Meng Chong arrange for Liu to handle Yirantang's agency.
Zhu Zaijing grinned with joy at Huang Jin's strong guarantee.
He never expected that Huang Jin would spend so much money and actually secretly buy a stake in Edong Factory.
After Dongchang has taken a stake, who dares to make mistakes on the issue of Yirantang’s agency?
In a few minutes you will know why the flowers are so red!
So Zhu Zaijing is also full of confidence in the upcoming Yirantang agent conference.
Originally, Zhu Zaijing was ready to make a big concession to the wealthy gentry from aristocratic families who represented Yirantang.
But now Zhu Zaijing has changed his mind.
Since it was originally a profitable business, now the background behind it is so tough.
Zhu Zaijing must be proud to earn the money.
So it was in the agency agreement finalized by Zhu Zaijing.
Zhu Zaijing, who was originally willing to give up three to four points of profit, now only gave up two points of profit!
That is: the agency price of each bottle of Yiran candy is about eighty taels of silver.
As for Bingxin candies (mint candies) and high-end soaps, these belong to another agent, and they are definitely not sold by an agent.
Of course, depending on the region, the agency price will fluctuate by dozens of yuan, but this fluctuation is definitely not big, and it will only be within fifty yuan at most.
Otherwise, if the agency price difference is too large, some agents will get goods from other agents. In this case, wouldn’t it be Zhu Zaizhen who loses?
So in order to plug this loophole, Zhu Zaijing not only made small adjustments to the agency price, but also supplied goods based on the actual annual sales in various places to ensure that the goods supplied by Yirantang were only enough for the local area. Consumption.
In this way, Yirantang's stable price system can be maintained for a long time, making it an everlasting high-end product.
For the sake of brand value, Zhu Zaijing also stipulated that the retail price of agents in each region must be consistent with that of the capital. Anyone who dares to adjust the price privately will have their agency qualifications immediately revoked, and Dongchang will be arranged to visit him at the same time. Tutoring business.
As for the contract, Zhu Zaijing also made restrictions. Zhu Zaijing did not intend to sign a long-term agency contract. The contracts are signed once a year. If he does a good job, he can sign for three years at a time.
Moreover, payment must be made first before delivery. After all, Yirantang’s popular product Yirantang has been on the market for nearly a year. In this nearly year, some Yirantang has also left the capital. I went out to other places in Ming Dynasty.
Those who are lucky enough to taste it already know the sweet taste of Yirantang, and those who have not tasted it have also heard of the beauty of Yirantang.
So there is no need to worry that Yirantang will be unfamiliar to the local area, because it has long been famous in high-end circles of dignitaries and has become a model of nobility in the Ming Dynasty.
If you haven’t tasted Yiran Candy after it was put on the market, you may be considered by others as if your family is in decline and you can’t afford to eat or play?
Therefore, even if it is for the sake of face, some gentry and landowners who are not particularly well-off still have to bite the bullet and buy a few bottles for consumption, and they must not lose face.

I am so envious of the people in the book.
